I\'m using the github oauth plugin for our logins but for all of our users in the Organisation I get an error:

Access Denied

 is missing the Ov         


        

Answer 1

This is how I resolved the authentication problem:

1. Edit config.xml file, e.g.

   sudo vi /var/lib/jenkins/config.xml
   

   1. Change useSecurity element's value to false, e.g.

      false
      

   2. Remove authorizationStrategy block

2. Restart Jenkins: /etc/init.d/jenkins restart.

3. Access Jenkins through URL as usual and reconfigure security again.
